Objective: To investigate the multi-imaging diagnostic values, especially MSCT technology in patients with congenital aortic diverticulum with its clinical application. Methods: The MSCT ifndings in 12 patients with congenital aortic diverticulum were retrospectively analyzed. Results: There were 9 patients with right aortic arch and 1 with left aortic arch, all of them having coexisted aberrant subclavian artery which initially dilated like aneurysm by diverticulum changing (Kommerell diverticulum), and there was 1 patient with incomplete double aortic arch with atresia of left arch combining retro-esophageal aortic diverticulum (RAD) and 1 patient with ducts diverticulum. Echocardiogram only made the suggestive diagnosis of speeding up blood lfow or right aortic arch in 4 patients. While MSCT accurately displayed the diverticulum for the location, morphology and with or without other complications. The post-eroanterior chest radiograph indicated “double aortic node” as the special sign in 8 patients. The echocardiogram, X-ray and MSCT for correctly diagnosing the aortic diverticulum were as 0, 72.7% and 100% respectively. Conclusion: MSCT is a rather ideal non-invasive diagnosing method for aortic diverticulum, meanwhile X-ray could also make suggestive diagnosis; if MSCT and X-ray joint with echocardiogram examination may provide the effective supplement for valve structure and hemodynamics condition in relevant patients.

BACKGROUND:Percutaneous vertebroplasty and percutaneous kyphoplasty in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture have obtained good outcomes, because the traditional method is invalid, but there are a variety of choices in operation time, anesthesia, surgical approach and method, and each method has its advantages and disadvantages. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect and preponderance of the manual reduction combined with unilateral percutaneous vertebroplasty under general anesthesia in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. METHODS:A total of 53 patients with single vertebral osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, who were treated with percutaneous vertebroplasty, were retrospectively analyzed from July 2012 to December 2014. The new method group (32 cases) received manual reduction, underwent unilateral pedicle puncture and bone cement injection during unilateral percutaneous vertebroplasty under general anesthesia. The conventional method group (21 cases) received conventional percutaneous vertebroplasty. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There was an average of 6-month folow-up (3-14 months). Significant differences in visual analogue scale scores, vertebral compression ratio and kyphosis Cobb’s angle were detected in the new method and the conventional method groups at 3 days post surgery and during final folow-up compared with before surgery (P < 0.01). No significant difference in visual analogue scale scores was found between the two groups (P > 0.05). Compared with the conventional method group, postoperative vertebral compression ratio, kyphosis Cobb’s angle and bone cement leakage rate were significantly lower in the new method group (P < 0.01). Results verified that the new method combined with the advantages of percutaneous vertebroplasty and percutaneous kyphoplasty, the advantages of unilateral and bilateral puncture approach. The new method can correct kyphosis deformity, effectively recover the vertebral height and physiological curvature and the puncture is safe. Simultaneously, the leakage rate of bone cement is reduced, and the distribution of bone cement is ideal.
